A short walk to a little visited but beautiful sandy beach; best at low tide.
Summary
There is a path throughout but it is usually made boggy due to cattle. The path also crosses stepping stones over the river.

1. Park on the inland side of the road, just past Cuaig bridge when driving away from Applecross. The walk begins by heading back along the road and across the bridge. Take the path through the gate on right once across the river. The path is often muddy due to use by cows; it soon passes through a gap in a fence (where there used to be a gate), keeping above the river.
2. Slowly the path slopes down to reach the river bank, passing through another gate. Ahead on this side of the river, the bank has been built up as part of the construction of an old salmon fishing station. Cross the river using the large stepping stones.
3. On the other side, turn left to head towards the beach. It is easiest to keep just to the right of the old stone walls before heading across to the sands where there are fewest boulders. The beach here has wonderful fine sands, particularly at low tide, and is very infrequently visited. The return is the same way.
